Hi,

Here is a summary of where i think we are:

1) Web container scanning does not scan for classes in jars of the ear lib. We need to determine where this is a spec limitation of a bug (see below). Also this may determine whether classes in such libs can also be CDI managed, namely whether such classes are visible to the BeanManager of the web app.

2) There appears to be different deployment behaviors when NB 6.9 deploys an exploded ear and when asdmin is used to deploy the ear. When deploying via NBs scanning works but there are issues with CDI:

2.1) one issue seems to be related to when a directory contains a space character;

SEVERE: Exception while loading the app org.glassfish.deployment.common.DeploymentException: WELD-001201 Error loading beans.xml java.io.IOException: Cannot open a foreign URL; this.url=jar:file:/Users/paulsandoz/Downloads/glassfish-bugs%25202/ frobnicator/ear/target/gfdeploy/ljnelson_frobnicator-ear_ear_1.0- SNAPSHOT/lib/frobnicator-jaxrs-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar!/META-INF/beans.xml; foreign.url=jar:file:/Users/paulsandoz/Downloads/glassfish-bugs%25202/ frobnicator/ear/target/gfdeploy/ljnelson_frobnicator-ear_ear_1.0- SNAPSHOT/lib/frobnicator-jaxrs-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar!/META-INF/beans.xml

2.2) if the directory does not contain a space the following occurs:

SEVERE: Exception while loading the app org.glassfish.deployment.common.DeploymentException: WELD-001409 Injection point has ambiguous dependencies. Injection point: field ljnelson.frobnicator.jaxrs.FrobnicatorResource.junk; Qualifiers: [@javax.enterprise.inject.Default()]; Possible dependencies: [org.jboss.weld.bean-/Users/paulsandoz/Downloads/glassfish-bugs-2/ frobnicator/ear/target/gfdeploy/ljnelson_frobnicator-ear_ear_1.0- SNAPSHOT/lib/frobnicator-jaxrs-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar-ManagedBean-class ljnelson.frobnicator.jaxrs.Junk, org.jboss.weld.bean-/Users/paulsandoz/ Downloads/glassfish-bugs-2/frobnicator/ear/target/gfdeploy/ ljnelson_frobnicator-ear_ear_1.0-SNAPSHOT/frobnicator-war-1.0- SNAPSHOT_war/-ManagedBean-class ljnelson.frobnicator.jaxrs.Junk]

Thanks, i see you added me to the CC list.

Not yet. As from the 1st July when France legally joins Oracle.

It does as well, but it is not portable (it has been around before scanning was defined in Servlet 3). Jersey's scanning is enabled by choosing a particular implementation of Application that scans.
